• • "Sex Drive" • •
• • An item appeared in Variety on Monday, 21 May 1973.  Mae West mentioned she was writing a new book "Sex Drive," that would include real names and be largely autobiographical.
• • Either Mae couldn't find a publisher in 1973 or the 80-year-old icon was giving that frisky title a test drive — — and then went straight to the idea junkyard and abandoned this brain-storm.
• • Overheard in Hollywood • •
• • Journalist Sondra Lowell wrote the article "Memories of Mae: Academy Tribute" and it was published in the Los Angeles Times on Thursday, 21 May 1981, six months after Mae's funeral.
• • In Her Own Words • •
• • Mae West said: “I wrote the story myself. It's about a girl who lost her reputation and never missed it.”
• • Mae West said: "Years ago there was a  Mae West playing burlesque In the East, and only a few years back I had trouble stopping a burlesque queen In Pittsburgh from using my  name."
• • Quote, Unquote • •

• • By the Numbers • •
• • The Mae West Blog was started fourteen years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 4217th blog post. Unlike many blogs, which draw upon reprinted content from a newspaper or a magazine and/ or summaries, links, or photos, the mainstay of this blog is its fresh material focused on the life and career of Mae West, herself an American original.
